VOICE is a testament to why Hiromi is one of the most exciting and virtuostic pianist-composers of her generation. Hiromi’s knack for the spectacular visually doesn’t cloud her ability to connect to an audience harmonically. She somehow manages to be earthshaking and down-to-earth at the same time. She’s joined in her latest expedition by veteran bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Simon Phillips. The three musicians are in sync with each other and what you hear is the pure magic that happens when three seriously gifted artists work together. All of the recording’s brilliant compositions are the product of Hiromi, allowing for the incredible exchanges that take place. This is truly an amazing work of art from an incredible artist.
